Interview with Poet David Dephy

Matthew Toffolo: What is the theme of your poem?

David Dephy: Pain and hope, strength and kindness, our memories and forgiveness, because — some day — we will remember nothing of our enemies, but that killing silence of our friends.

2) What motivated you to write this poem?

The same things which I mentioned above – pain, hope, strength, forgiveness and kindness.

3) How long have you been writing poetry?

I was 21 years old when I started writing poetry and prose.

4) If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would that be?

Only one person? Oh no, let me share the dinner with Edgar Allan Poe, William Blake and Jesus Christ… and one more… David Gilmour (from Pink Floyd) please if it’s not too late and if it’s not very much against of your rules add him in my dinner guests’ list … please.
